Daily updates to the traveling Busse Bus
The 50th anniversary of the Calgary Stampede – is called the greatest outdoor show on earth. It is a huge county fair on steroids western style. Food, games, stages, exhibits, and races. We witnessed “chuck wagon” races. I know it sounds very foreign to us, but the winner takes home Read more
